[Tokyo Ghoul] Tea Coffee Companion

The sunshine in December is bright and mild. Even girls who stay at home for fear of tanning in summer can hardly resist the temptation brought by the warm light.

During the lunch break, Chacha was waiting outside the restaurant with a bento box, and soon saw Kaneki Ken and Yongjin Yingliang walking over shoulder to shoulder.

"Yo, Cha Cha Jiang."

Yongjin Yingliang saw her earlier than Kaneki Ken, and after greeting her with a smile, he pushed Kaneki Ken towards her, "It's done, your Kaneki."

Kaneki Ken was caught off guard and staggered two steps, reaching out to take the bento box from Aiba Chacha's hand, while turning around and complaining: "Ying...really, let me say hello and then..."

"Anyway, you have to go there. You look so anxious when class is about to end, is it because of lunch?" Yongjin Yingliang squeezed his eyes and put his hands behind his head, "After all, today is a special day, let I'm going to eat alone with my family alone..."

"Actually, Yingliang-kun," Aiba Chacha pointed to the bento box in Kaneki Ken's hand, and signaled Kaneki Ken with his eyes, "This is for you."

"What?"

"Let me just say, Ying, your movements are too sudden." Kaneki Ken complained a little, and then handed him the bento box, "I made it with Chacha, and it happened that there was no class in the afternoon, so we planned to go out for dinner, and then... He blushed a little, then stretched out his hand to scratch, "A date."

Yongjin Yingliang looked at them for a while, then reached out to take the lunch box with a strange expression: "Your date...isn't it the library again?"

The two turned their heads to look at him together, with the same blank expression on their faces: What's the problem?

Yongjin Yingliang: The question is big, okay! ! !

Generally speaking, where do couples choose to go on a date?

More normal ones, such as parks, playgrounds, cafes, cinemas, KTV.

And a different kind of...

""The Story of Feast"?"

Standing in the corridor on the second floor of the library, Jin Muyan looked at his girlfriend's expectant eyes, and felt a subtle sense of satisfaction in his heart, "Why did you find this book? It was arranged by the professor?"

Although they are also students of Shangjing University, and both belong to the Department of Literature.But Kaneki majored in Chinese liberal arts, while Xiangba Chacha chose archaeology.

"No," the girl shook her head, and the dull hair swayed with her movements, "The last time I read the ending of "The Strong and the Weak", the author mentioned this book. And I saw "The Black Goat" last night. In "Egg", there is also a related paragraph..."

"To be able to sit down and share food peacefully is very unusual for any animal in nature?..." Kaneki Ken recited this passage accurately, and then felt helpless, "Because of this sentence, Are you looking for this book?"

Chacha still insisted: "Anyway, it kills two birds with one stone, haven't you seen it before?"

"...that was in the third year of high school, it's been a year since now," Kaneki Ken sighed, "I probably remember the location, so I'll take you to find it—since you can't figure it out even if you ask the administrator, it's more likely to be It will be taken off the shelves or borrowed, don’t get your hopes up.”

"Huh?" Xiangye Chacha realized this possibility, and replied in a daze, "Ah."

So, the way the two bookworms date, to some extent, really makes others dumbfounded...boring.

But since the person involved enjoys it, others just need to bless it, right?

Half an hour later, Ken Kaneki led Aiba Chacha, who was a little disappointed but more satisfied, down the second floor.

"A Yan is really good." She said softly, rubbing the book in her hand again.Although she couldn't find "The Story of Banquet", another similar book was recommended by her boyfriend, which instantly made the girl feel that the other person's height had increased by a few centimeters.

—Wait, what's wrong?

"Actually, if you really want to read it, we can go to other bookstores to find it," Kaneki Ken, who was always praised unconsciously by the other party, said with a blushing face, "or look it up online."

"No need, this is already good." Xiangba Chacha smiled and shook her head, thinking of something again, "By the way, Ah Yan, what book did you buy? It seems like a long time ago."

This sentence seems to have touched on something, and Kaneki Ken's expression suddenly became a little abnormal.He tried to calmly deal with a few words, and changed a few topics before barely distracting Xiangye Chacha's attention.

Phew... Talking about the Renshen Rebellion in the Asuka Era, the young man quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and tightened his grip on the bag with the books in his hand.

In addition to the two books that can be classified as "serious", there is also a book with pink leather and an incongruous style of painting, lying quietly in the bag.

There is a line of big characters written on it: "Looking for the correct love posture ♂".

——Well, I still really care about what Ying said this morning...

Today is December 12th, the day three years ago was the day when Aiba Chacha and Kaneki Ken confessed their feelings.Coincidentally, December 19 happens to be the latter's birthday.

Naturally, these two days have become even more memorable.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they came out of the library, and the two walked to the nearest movie theater.

Even people with low EQ usually know that spending an entire afternoon in the library is an act that is so sick that the FFF group cannot tolerate it.

It's a pity that today's trip to the cinema ended at the gate——

"Is there a ghoul that ate people?"

There is a cordon around the cinema, and all visitors are told to turn back.Listening to what Kaneki told her, Xiangba Chacha held the newly bought cone in one hand, and was led by him towards home with the other.

"Yeah," Jin Muyan sighed, with a palpitation on his face, "I heard that that person was found in the corner seat in the first row when the show opened at noon, and his lower body was gnawed badly..."

"Fortunately it's not afternoon... Ghoul, what kind of creature is it?" Aiba Chacha muttered to herself, looked at the cone in her hand, hesitated for a moment or licked it, then raised her hand and handed it to Kaneki Ken, " Now, let's eat together."

Kaneki Ken was a little surprised: "Usually, don't you finish eating by yourself, do you occasionally add more?"

"Well, my appetite has been affected." Aiba Chacha said honestly, so sincerely that she did not tactfully, which made the young man instantly understand the reason for her "poor appetite".

So Kaneki Ken looked at the cone in front of him, his face changed for a long time, and finally he compromised helplessly:

"Okay, okay, let's eat with you... ahhh."

Because of this accident, the two had no plans to find another movie theater to continue.After a brief discussion, I went to the supermarket to replenish some ingredients, and went back to the tea and coffee shop - open for business.

Boiled water was poured into the coffee pot in a circle, and the brown liquid slowly flowed into the container below.Hot tea is rolling on the small stove on the other side, and the same slightly bitter and fragrant smell is transpiring in the air, combining into a wonderful taste enjoyment.

This tea and coffee shop was left by Chacha's grandfather before his death. Her parents divorced for many years, and they only sent some living expenses to her account every month, and they didn't see each other a few times throughout the year.

"Awaited."

Putting the black coffee on the table, the girl who was looking down at the book smiled and looked up at her:

"I happened to be on the way today, so I came over to have a look. I was a little surprised... Didn't Aiba say yesterday that he has something to do today so he won't open the store?"

Aiba Chacha put away the tray and scratched her face: "Actually, today is Kazuken-kun's anniversary, but when I went to the cinema in the afternoon... Well, I heard that there was an accident over there, and the plan suddenly messed up. So After discussing with Yan-kun, let’s just continue the business.”

The girl sitting there has long purple hair, has a charming appearance and well-matched clothes, but a pair of thick-rimmed glasses covers half of her face.She rested her chin on Xiangba Chacha with great interest, tapped her fingers unconsciously on the book at hand, "Hey, what kind of accident is it?"

Aiba Chacha struggled for a while, but was still defeated in the other party's sight: "...It should be a ghoul, I don't know the specifics."

For most people, the existence of ghouls is too far away.There was a subtle expression on the girl's face, like fear, or something else.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the wind chime hanging on the door made a ding-dong sound like water.Xiangba Chacha smiled apologetically, "Miss Lishi, I'm going to greet the new guests first."

It was busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and the last guest was sent away.Aiba Chacha turned the "open" sign on the door, locked the door from the inside, and then walked to the workshop behind the store.

Kaneki Ken was cleaning the coffee grounds in the pot, Aiba Chacha looked at the clean room, and dug out a series of ingredients for making cakes from the counter.

"Do it now? Don't need a break?"

After disposing of the coffee grounds, Jin Muyan turned to look at her crisp movements, and asked a question out of habit.

"Oh, Ah Yan, just leave it alone," Seeing her boyfriend roll up his sleeves to help, Xiangba Chacha hastily pushed him, "This is your birthday cake, how could anyone make it for themselves? Let alone today's cake The coffee and tea are basically made by you, and there are not many backups outside the plan, so you should be the one who should take a break."

Although under normal circumstances, Aiba Chacha can basically be called a soft-spoken girl.But once you become stubborn, for example, if you have problems reading, for example, at this moment, even the ghoul's obsession with food probably won't be much stronger than her.

Kaneki Ken, who was well versed in his girlfriend's situation, could only sigh helplessly, and acted as a quiet and handsome man beside him.It's a pity that it wasn't long before the onlookers were kicked out of the work room by the frenzied girlfriend with the excuse of "you look at me and I feel panicked".

An hour later, Kaneki Ken was engrossed in reading a book, when he was attracted by the sweet aroma from the workshop and familiar footsteps.

"Chachacha... Chacha, what are you doing?"

When she raised her head, Xiangba Chacha had already put on her coat and was about to rush to the door.Ken Kaneki glanced at the "[-]:[-]" on the dial on the wall, then looked at the girl's slender appearance, and rushed to stop her.

"I forgot the matcha powder and condensed milk at home," Aiba Chacha unconsciously tugged at her stupid hair, with a tangled expression, "I'll go get them, the cake will be ready soon, that's all that's missing."

Kaneki Ken grabbed Xiangba Chacha's hand from her hair to prevent her from unconsciously pulling herself bald: "I'll get it for you."

"……Hey?"

He showed a helpless expression: "Why are you so surprised... How bad is it that you would agree with your girlfriend to pick up things alone so late?"

Xiangba Chacha looked at his watch, only to realize the time problem: "...So it's so late."

"Yes, that's why I'm going." Kaneki Ken said without hesitation, then touched her head reassuringly, "Don't worry, your home is very close, isn't it? It's only 10 minutes, soon .”

The young man put on his coat, picked up the key and went out.Aiba Chacha watched his figure disappear into the darkness outside, and inexplicably felt a... empty feeling in her heart.

She pursed her lips and held a small bottle around her neck tightly.It was something she had been wearing for nearly four years, and it was also a birthday gift she was going to give to Kaneki-ken on time in the early morning.

However, until the pointer passes twelve o'clock, it continues to turn backwards.Kaneki Ken still hasn't come back.

The author has something to say: Well, the content of that book... please make up your own brain (beaten

I'll mention it later...probably
